STOUTgear was started in the year 2000 by Alex Stout with his wife, Lorie, joining shortly thereafter. Having come from the sailing / production / supply side of the industry, it was an easy transition to the sales side. With our production experience, we know what details are required to help our customers procure the items needed, with as little effort as possible on their behalf.

With our sailing experience we know what sailors want on land and on the water.
